Desde su creación hace 13.000 años, nuestra pasión por la cerveza ha influido prácticamente en todo, desde la religión hasta la publicidad, pasando por la arquitectura y la bioingeniería. La cerveza fue moneda de pago para los constructores de las pirámides de Egipto; la primera nevera se construyó para conservar la cerveza, no la comida; las bacterias se descubrieron investigando la cerveza agria y la levadura de cerveza podría ser la respuesta al cambio climático.En El sentido de la birra, el galardonado escritor Jonny Garrett nos cuenta con su inigualable sentido del humor estos increíbles eventos e inventos que moldearon nuestra historia, llevándonos a algunos de los destinos cerveceros más famosos –Múnich y el Oktoberfest, el laboratorio Carlsberg y la cuna de Budweiser–, así como a otros menos conocidos, desde una fábrica de cerveza de 5.000 años de antigüedad hasta la ártica Svalbard, donde se encuentra el bar más al norte del planeta.En definitiva, este no es un libro sobre cómo hicimos la cerveza, sino sobre cómo ella nos hizo a nosotros.
